Spotlight Series Opening Reception - Linye Jiang: Undisclosed Location

CAMOC is pleased to present the first Spotlight Artist of 2025, Linye Jiang with Undisclosed Location. In this installation, Jiang’s work is a love letter to photography, focusing on overlooked, peripheral details in the landscape rather than grand, iconic scenes—poetic fragments that feel personal and familiar. By stepping into the frame and re-photographing their own work, the artist challenges the invisibility often expected of photographers, occupying the space between observer and participant. “Undisclosed locations—private, unmarked, and unseen—exist because I chose to withhold them,” and offer here a quiet inquiry into absence, visibility, and the complex relationship between self and landscape. Linye Jiang (@linye.j) is a lens-based artist whose work explores gender roles, human complexity, and the intersection of societal culture with personal experience. With a focus on pushing the boundaries of photography, Linye integrates the medium with sculptural forms and performance, creating immersive installations. Her work draws from personal narratives, this intimate connection infuses her work with authenticity and emotional depth. Based in Chicago, Linye actively engages with the local and international art communities through exhibitions, collaborations, and educational programs. CAMOC’s ongoing Spotlight Series, curated by Larry Lee (@‌lardamang), exists to showcase the dynamic array of Chinese American artists working in the vibrant world of contemporary fine arts in Chicago and beyond. RSVP for the opening reception on Sunday, January 19, 2-5 PM, in the bio. This exhibition will run from Jan. 19th to Feb. 23rd, 2025. More Info below.
